Center Nick Mangold and cornerback Antonio Cromartie did not practice Wednesday for the New York Jets as they began preparations for Sunday’s trip to Maryland to face the Baltimore Ravens. Mangold has a high ankle sprain that kept him out of Sunday’s 32-24 loss to the Oakland Raiders. Cromartie suffered bruised ribs and a bruised lung in that game.
The playing status of each for Sunday against Baltimore was uncertain. Cromartie apparently worked on the side seemingly without discomfort. Early reports are that he would be more likely to play against the Ravens than Mangold.
Without Mangold, Colin Baxter would make his second straight start at center for the Jets.
